    Introduction to Pisa and its originsPisa  is  a  town  of  ancient  origins.  It  remained  under  Etruscan  influence  for  many  centuries.  Its  importance  as  a  port  and  maritime  trading  center  increased  during  the  most  glorious  period  of  Roman  power.  Pisa  acquired  autonomy  from  the  9th  century  onwards,  promoting  its  own  maritime  vocation  in  Mediterrane-an  sea.  The  11th  and  12th  centuries  were  marked  by  Pisa's  great  military  victories  in  Sicily,  Corsica,  Sardi-nia  and  Baleari  islands.  It  engaged  a  naval  supremacy  with  the  powerful  city  of  Genoa  and  it  was  defea-ted   in   the   famous  battle  of  Meloria  on  6  August  1284,  which  represented  the  end  of  Pisa's  maritime  splendour.  In  the  following  centuries  Pisa  had  a  culturally  prosperous  period  under  the  Medici  and  the  Habsburg-Lorraine  grand  dukes.  Most  recently,   in  the  20th  century,  Pisa  was  characterized  by  a  great  expansion  but  also  by  a  deep  devastation  caused  by  the  second  world  war  which  brought  enormous  damage  and  injury  to  the  town.

    Curiosities and unusual sitesSome  notices,  not  easy  to  be  found  in  a  city  guide,  but  interesting  to  know  and  visit  during  spare  time.

    The devil’s fingersOn  the  northern  side  of  the  cathedral,  the  side  that  faces  the  cemetery,  on  the  sixth  pilaster  from  the  façade  there  is  a  long  series  of  small  holes  made  vertically  in  the  marble.  These  are  known  as  the  “devil’s  fingers”,   mysterious,   arcane   marks   of   unknown   origin   and   meaning.   According   to   a   local   tradition,  anyone  attempting  to  count  the  devil’s  fingers  will  come  to  a  different  figure  every  time,  no  matter  how  often  they  try.

    Libreria antiquaria ValleriniSituated  in  Via  dei  Mille,  just  few  meters  from  Piazza  dei  Cavalieri,  it  is  one  of  the  most  charming  and  inte-resting  shops  in  Pisa.  The  timeless  atmosphere  of  its  ancient  rooms  with  their  antique  bookshelves  offers  a  large  collection  of  books  and  drawings  dedicated  to  Pisa.

    Case TorriThis  word  means  “tower-houses”  and  in  the  12th  century  represented  the  most  typical  forms  of  residen-tial  buildings,  with  their  narrow  shape  (even  6  floors)  chosen  for  defensive  reasons.  Today,  only  few  Case  Torri  can  be  admired  in  the  historical  centre  such  as  the  “Campano”  located  near  the  medieval  complex  of  Piazza  delle  Vettovaglie.  These  impressive  buildings  offer  a  reminder  and  a  confirmation  of  Pisa’s  great  past  as  one  of  the  most  important  cities  of  the  western  medieval  world.

    Kinzica de’ SismondiIn  Via  San  Martino,  at  number  19,  on  the  façade  of  a  tower-house,  there  is  a  marble  high-relief  portraying  a  young  woman.  This  is  a  fragment  from  a  Roman  sarcophagus,  but  it  is  known  locally  as  the  statue  of  Kinzica  de’  Sismondi.  She  is  considered  a  heroine  and  she  has  been  always  admired  by  Pisans.  In  1005,  according  to  the  legend,  she  alerted  the  inhabitants  of  Pisa  from  the  attack  by  the  Saracens.

    The tower of Count UgolinoThe  tower  of  Count  Ugolino  rose  in  the  area  currently  occupied  by  Palazzo  dell’Orologio  in  Piazza  dei  Cavalieri.  Count  Ugolino  della  Gherardesca  was  the  governor  of  Pisa  at  the  end  of  13th  century.  In  1289  was   injustly   accused   of   treason.   He   was   imprisoned   in   this   tower   and   left   to   die   of   hunger   with   his  children  and  grandchildren.  This  episode  inspired  Dante  to  write  one  of  the  most  famous  cantos  in  the  Divine  Comedy.    

    The second leaning tower Another  leaning  tower  can  be  admired  in  Pisa  in  addition  to  the  most  famous  one.  It  is  the  tower  of  San  Michele  degli  Scalzi,  which  can  be  reached  after  a  pleasant  walking  through  the  green  area  along  the  river  Arno.  The  ancient  church  and  the  tower  are  connected  to  a  new  exposition  center  (SMS)  and  repre-sent  an  integration  of  new  and  old  architectures.
